well finally got my martha up and going im giving it a test run with 4 cakes. Right now temps inside are at 79. I can see summer being a problem now because I have no air condition. Is there anything I can do? Im guessing not so am I going to have to quit this hobby for the summer?

You could see if a frozen bottle of water or two in there would drop the ambient temp a little maybe. I've seen it somewhere as a method for terrariums.

Maybe with light and lowered CO2, they may fruit anyway, especially when they run out of substrate to control.. I don't know anything really about invitro growing, but don't they pin in the jars ie. in the incubator? I mean, I thought in the original PF tek it actually says to start fruiting when you see pins in the jars..

I have the same problem. The mushrooms will grow but the contams are hell. I'm lucky if I can get one good flush before the fucking green sets in. I've decided to suspend growing from May through September.

they get contams because the windows are not open and not good air circulation in the house too. I have often repeated myself saying that contams follow me around and I believe its because I got 2 dogs and it was winter now i can open the windows and i have a hepa filter running 24/7next to my setup no problems so far.
